Wonderful head phones, going to buy another.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My husband has trouble hearing and turns up the volume on the TV. I got these for him for Christmas hoping they would be the answer to a more quiet home and they turned out to be the best Christmas gift I've gotten him a long time. He can now listen to TV without disturbing the rest of the family. They have good long range reception and not static. The charging port works well and they hold a charge for long periods of time. He has told me over & over how much he likes them because he can now hear his programs even with his hearing problems.Thank you!

great pair of wireless 'phones.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this set of Headphones because I was constantly tripping over wires. These worked out just fine. Very good sound and reception. In fact, I ventured out to get my mail ((mailbox is at least 150 feet from Sony transmitter and I could still hear the music from a CD...albeit, fading did occur new, and then).But if you stay anywhere on floor where transmitter is located, then the reception was very clear. Also, I can say the same for when i strayed to the basement, one floor down). Earlier, I mentioned that the 'phones were slipping from my head. I solved that problem by wearing a baseball cap, underneath them. They have not slipped since then. You won't go wrong with this purchase.

Pleasantly surprised! Going to buy another set!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these so I could watch tv at night and not disturb my husband and I was surprised at how well they worked! I did experience a little static but I pushed a little button on the headphones and the static disappeared. Sound quality is a lot better than I expected after reading review after review on RF wireless headphones. I wasn't ready to drop $300 on a digital pair, so this was a nice alternative. My husband was impressed too so we will be buying another pair so he can watch his horror movies in the living room without disturbing me! So far very pleased with my purchase!

amazing sound quality
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these headphones to be able to watch movies and shows at night in the living room without disturbing the kids and I am very satisfied with the sound quality. FM reception is crystal clear without any interferance and the noise cancellation works pretty good . The only issue that I have is with the weight of these headsets and also not that comfortable on the ears

enhance prototype like quality for 25% extra price
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.unfortunately my application not for making-up hearing difficulty but three channel use with three transmitters for my 90 years old mother for use upto 150 feet range. Purchased 2 nos full sets; got delivered in 2 days; Easily set up one for deck player set to channel 1 and another for TV set to channel 2. Both head phones easily auto tune and also switch channel and auto tune just by pressing auto tune button on head phone. (every press channel changes) 150 feet range works except at computer table up-to about 4 feet distance of WiFi there is motor-boating noise. Bulky and heavy, even sweats- mother felt same and said " ( if the other (BestBuy) contemporary model is also not user-friendly due to on the ear model and loose fit) why they make & sell these ? Any way will try and get used to it." Informed my brother to return and try 2nos Sennheiser RS120 (the range 300 feet but reviews had reports that Sony's over the ear more comfortable than on the ear Sennheiser). However no experimentsby my brother; he simply returned to BestBuy. Thanks to BestBuy, Sony, Sennheiser for all cooperation ! This was gift to my mother who lives with my elder brother. Guess after use one will get used although would appreciate improved model with an additional cost of say 25%

Good quality for the price
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the third set I have bought. Bought the 1st pair for my husband so he could watch TV late at night and not disturb the rest of the family. Bought the 2nd pair for my daughter who lives in an apartment with vey thin walls. Just bought the 3 rd set for my other daughter who lives in a dorm. Good sound and also blocks out surrounding noise fairly well. They are a little large for my head and shift a little if I move around, but over all work well.

Works well
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was not what I came in for. Wanted bluetooth headphones with dongle. This was all they carried in the store. As it turned out, they work well for my husband who needs the tv on so very loud . Peace and quiet.

Great! As advertised
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had a Sony wireless headset (MDR-RF915r) that lasted for 12~13 years. It died 6 mo’s ago. Just received my new Sony headset (MDRRF985RK) and it is perfect. It fits better and works better than the old set. My original setup used a cord from an older wired headphone with the old phono plug to connect into my 12 year old Sony receiver. Then I plugged the short cord that came with the RF915r, with adapter, into the old long cord. That gave me the length I needed for my setup. This new 985RK came with the same short cord so the new stuff just dropped right into my setup without any problem. Only change I made was to use the new power adapter (12v vs. 9v).

Great for someone with a hearing issue.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headsets are used as an adjunct to our surround sound system. They help a family member who has a slight hearing issue. The headsets fit comfortably on the head and provide excellent hearing assistance with full surround sound.

do the job they were intended to do
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased these for my dad who wanted a wireless set of headphones to use when he stayed up late watching tv in bed. He reports that the headphones are comfortable, and the sound does not escape when he uses them at a volume sufficient for him to enjoy the television program he is watching. He also enjoys the clarity and depth of sound that he gets from these headphones. He is quite happy with these Sony headphones.

Christmas Gift
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Set up was easy. At first, the volume was very low even with the volume on the headphones at max. I went through the TV settings and found the headphone volume was low so I turned it to max. After that I was getting a lot of static noises so I adjusted the TV setting back down a little and it's been great ever since. I haven't had any problems with them and the range is great. I've went +50 feet away and into other rooms without hearing any static or interference. Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!!
